Parliament Square

Overview

Looking for downtown Toronto condos for sale or for rent in a modern building and top neighbourhood known for its character and history, then check out Parliament Square.

A mid-rise Toronto condo nestled within the restored Distillery District, Parliament Square rises out of a historical brickworks machine shop, offering some of the most spacious suites available in the area. Standing at 13 floors, the building offers over 150 units, from studios to two-bedrooms, and two-storey penthouses with private terrace. Amenities feature underground parking and a rooftop deck and garden, while the pedestrian geared neighbourhood is full of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants, close to downtown, the waterfront, and Toronto’s eastside.

Most Notable Features

Arts and culture: Living at Parliament Square you’re down the street from many of the arts and culture centres of which the Distillery District is known. Notable for enriching the quality of the neighbourhood, you can enjoy Engine Gallery, Julie M. Gallery for Contemporary Art, and the Sport Gallery, among others.

Pet friendly: A bit hard to find with Toronto condos, Parliament Square is a pet friendly building. Enjoy your morning coffee with Mr. Whiskers on your lap, or take Sparky out for a cobblestoned walk to the park.

Antique ambiance: There only a handful of places in Toronto where you find residential space immersed in heritage style architecture, and the Distillery District is maybe the best. The streets around Parliament Square are cobblestone and quaint, decorated with antique barrels, wagons, street lamps and clocks, creating a wholly living historical vibe.
